The entire area below the girl's neck had turned into a paper figurine.
His four limbs were nailed to the wall, just like a painting hanging on the wall.
Zhou Bai lowered his head and said in a deep voice, "Who did this?"
Li Xiuzhu walked over from beside Zhou Bai. He looked at the paper figurine on the wall and said, "She did it herself."
"What?" Zhou Bai asked in disbelief, "Why did she do this?"
"To improve her Dao Conversion." Li Xiuzhu sighed and said, "Didn't you say that she was about to be expelled? From what I know, Dong Hua Dao School conducts an assessment every two months. If there is no obvious improvement after multiple assessments, she will be expelled to save resources and nurture students with more potential.
"This young lady … clearly does not have enough talent. The result of forcefully improving is a distortion.
"The sound you heard earlier should be the sound of her banging her head on the wall. Her body below her head has been completely distorted. She has become something like a paper figurine and can even pass through walls.
"However, because her head still maintains a certain humanoid shape, her head easily gets stuck when she passes through the wall and makes a banging sound."
Zhou Bai looked at the lifeless girl in front of him and sighed. "Why … Why must she persist in improving …"
"On the path of Dao cultivation, if you don't advance, you will regress. However, under the influence of the Distorted Tendo, sometimes advancing with indomitable will not necessarily bring success." Li Xiuzhu shook his head. "Advancing or retreating, the subtlety of this is also one of the lessons of Dao cultivation.
"You need to advance with indomitable will and the courage to advance. You also need to retreat and be decisive."
Zhou Bai frowned when he heard this. Dao cultivation … was indeed too difficult.
"Fortunately, I have the Assistive Cultivation System."
Zhou Bai looked at the girl on the wall and asked, "Did you kill her?"
Li Xiuzhu shook his head. "I was lying in ambush outside. After discovering that you had fainted, I barged in. However, I had only just broken her Dao technique when she committed suicide."
Looking at the pale girl before him, Li Xiuzhu sighed, "She probably still had a trace of self-will left, so she chose to commit suicide. Perhaps it was because of this remnant will that she didn't attack you yesterday. "
What followed was a series of aftermath work. The school's teachers, the police from the outside world, and various cultivators came to the scene one by one to analyze, inspect, and seal off the area.
Zhou Bai was also brought back to the police station by Li Xiuzhu.
Before he left, Zhou Bai told him what he had seen. "I saw a man with a square face talking to her. He promised to prepare something for her, and they …"
Li Xiuzhu's eyes narrowed as he listened to Zhou Bai describe what he had seen and heard. "Square-face? I'll have someone look into it. Your teacher will be looking for you. Go and have a talk with him. "
…
When Zhou Bai left the police station, he met Lv Chongyang, who had been waiting outside.
"Zhou Bai." Lv Chongyang asked with concern, "Are you alright? I didn't expect a student to have a mutation. "
"I'm fine." Zhou Bai looked at Lv Chongyang like a mouse seeing a cat. The more concerned Lv Chongyang was, the more awkward he felt.
It was just like when he skipped classes to go to an internet cafe in his third year of high school and was caught by his homeroom teacher. However, he didn't say anything and only sighed.
What touched Zhou Bai the most wasn't blame, anger, or contempt, but disappointment …
But when he thought about how he wanted to become stronger and fight for the future of humanity, Zhou Bai silently straightened his back.
Lv Chongyang didn't notice the change in Zhou Bai's heart. He just said, "Zhou Bai, did you not come to class recently because of the incident next door? Now that the matter has been resolved, you can continue to come to class tomorrow. "
Zhou Bai looked at Lv Chongyang. Although he felt nervous, he still braced himself and said, "Teacher … I think I won't come to class."
Lv Chongyang asked, "What do you mean?"
Zhou Bai felt a pressure like Mount Tai pressing down on him. It made him feel like he was a small boat in a storm, drifting in the wind and rain. It seemed like the boat would be destroyed at any moment.
However, Zhou Bai took a deep breath and said seriously, "Teacher, I have my own cultivation method. The conventional process isn't suitable for me. I want to go at my own pace."
Lv Chongyang's gaze focused, and he said word by word, "Dong Hua Dao School has been established for more than a hundred years. Just the compilation of the 99 chapters of the Daoist Canon cost us thousands of seniors. "We paid a huge price to have the teaching materials and curriculum for your cultivation.
"Although I'm not as good as the seniors, I'm still a cultivator at the fifth realm with a 56% Dao Transformation. Do you think you'll be stronger if you self-study than if you learn from us?"
Listening to Lv Chongyang's words, Zhou Bai couldn't think of a reasonable rebuttal because everything he said was correct. No matter how talented an ordinary student was, it was impossible for them to surpass the hundreds of years of experience in Dong Hua Dao School with their own efforts.
As Lv Chongyang spoke, the aura of the fifth realm rushed over. It was like a tangible pressure that pressed down on Zhou Bai's body and mind.
Zhou Bai even felt as if his bones were creaking softly.
That heavy feeling was enough to make an ordinary person bow down to worship.
However, he, Zhou Bai, was not an ordinary person.
He had already cultivated four stars on the Taiyi Wheel. His body had been strengthened four times and was no longer what it used to be. His 99 Primordial Soul also provided him with strong mental resistance.
Coupled with the support system's confidence, he was able to withstand the pressure released by Lv Chongyang and seriously replied, "Teacher, the unified curriculum … is too slow. I can train faster if I study by myself. I don't want to waste time on lessons.
I want to become stronger faster, faster, faster, and faster. I want to have the power to kill the Sky Demon and fight against demons. "
Zhou Bai looked at Lv Chongyang and expressed the real reason in his heart in a different way. "If I obediently go to class now, it will indeed be a lot safer, and I can also safely and slowly become stronger …"
Zhou Bai clenched his fists slowly. Countless dark images flashed through his mind. "But … this is not the path I want to take. I have the talent, I have the qualifications. I should go faster and further. I can bear more, and I can become stronger.
"Not like today, like in the past, where I'm always protected by others, but I can't do anything."
Zhou Bai raised his chest and stared at Lv Chongyang. A never before seen temperament gradually rose from his body.
"If I can't get first place in the assessment in two months, it means that my talent is only so-so. Then I promise I won't miss classes again."
Lv Chongyang fixed his eyes on Zhou Bai. From the other's eyes, he saw a seriousness that far exceeded his peers.
Lv Chongyang coldly said, "If you miss classes for two months in a row, if you don't pass the assessment, then you won't be able to go to class again. You will be expelled."
An even heavier pressure was thrown over. Zhou Bai felt as if he was thrown into the bottom of the sea. The surrounding air became incomparably oppressive, and the thought of giving up constantly rose in his heart.
He took a deep breath and made up his mind. "If I don't succeed, I'm willing to accept any arrangement from the school."
Looking at Zhou Bai forcefully saying these words, at this moment, Lv Chongyang realized one thing.
"This kid … he's serious. He really thinks that even if he doesn't go to class for two months, he can still pass the assessment and even get first place, even if he doesn't know what the assessment is about. "
Lv Chongyang was also a little surprised by Zhou Bai's determination at this moment. Originally, he just wanted to use his own pressure to make Zhou Bai realize his mistake and go to class obediently.
However, he didn't expect that under the pressure of the pressure, not only did Zhou Bai not give in, but he also showed his inner perseverance and seriousness. Especially that serious look, it made Lv Chongyang slightly surprised.
At this moment, Lv Chongyang's mind thought of a person once said, "The path of cultivation is the will of the individual. It is a choice made by oneself over and over again. Only they can control what the future holds. "
"I will always reserve a place for you in class, but you only have two months."
